What I hoped would be a good day...

I had hoped for another great day.  I have had three really good days since Dominic left for training and I thought I was on a roll.  Well, my hopes came crashing down before I even got a shower today.  I'm just going to say that there is some drama going on with my family that has thrown a big ol' wrench into a bunch of people's lives.  As if there isn't enough going on?!?!?!?

Anyhow, I did get a phone call from a friend today.  She asked me if the boys and I would go to the park with her and her 2 year old daughter.  The weather was absolutely perfect today so there was no way I was going to pass that up.  We met up with them at the park and she and I got to have some good adult conversation while the kids played.  It was a nice break.  

After we left the park we had to take all of Christian's popcorn orders to the squadron to be passed out.  I met up with our friend Zach who helped me since I didn't know anyone that had ordered.  Unfortunately most of the people didn't have money or weren't even there.  It kinda sucked but I left it all with Zach and he is going to be sure that everyone gets their order and I get the money.  Zach is a great friend along with his family.  

I figured that since we were at the base I had better take Mason to get his shots.  I hate to do it but it had to be done.  I'm not sure what else to say since we all know what happened next.  Mason screamed, Ayden didn't know what was going on and I tried to comfort them both at the same time.  I was glad to get out of there.  I don't go to the base very often so I don't feel as comfortable there as I did when we were in Iceland and England.

I really needed to talk to Dominic today just to vent.  He can't have his phone during duty hours so I don't get to talk to him until about 6pm.  Normally if I don't get to talk to him I would call my mom.  When I have a bad day she is who I call, well, called.  Its still so hard living life without her.  Its only been five months since she passed away.  My heart aches for her.  Sometimes I need to hear her voice.  Is that so much to ask?

Anyhow, Dominic called at 6pm but we didn't get to talk for long since we had to go get Christian from Sylvan.  Christian does 5 hours of math tutoring per week.  Four of those hours are at Sylvan Learning Centers.  This is his second week and he really seems to be doing well.

Dominic said that PT was okay.  They did a run at 5am, then they started training.  They didn't get done until 5:30pm.  He sounded tired and physically exhausted.  I guess all the guys were starting to wind down.  Some were doing laundry and some were making calls.  

I am anxious to get to bed tonight.  I am anxious to start tomorrow on a good foot, and keep it that way.
